What is put in the middle of baby burp cloths so the spit up does not go through the fabric? I have not made any yet but have a shower coming up and would like to make a few out of the same fabric as the quilt I am going to make.

Thanks for any and all ideas...

I use twp layers of flannel with a very thin batting in between.

I am not planning on quilting them, does this create a problem with the batting?

I have made some using the cloth diapers you buy and then use a cute flannel on the other side.

I found a tutorial where whe just used the prefolded cloth diapers from Target on one side and backed them with flannel. The diapers are super absorbent and the flannel prevents them from sliding off the shoulder. She didn't line them with anything waterproof.

Oops.....I'm too slow! :thumbup:

Most people use the cloth diapers - look on Etsy.com for some ideas...

I don't plan on making a lot of them so would thin double flannel on the inside work. I was planning on using flannel on the front as well as the back, I figured it would be very soft on the baby's face and would not slip off mom's shoulder but do not know if four layers of flannel would be too much.

I have order several of these from a friend that makes them in So. Carolina and she uses the cloth diapers also and does not put anything in them.

in the netherlands burpcloths are made from terycloth or thin toweling, so i use that for backing..nothing in between
